BTW I have read that Speed article, but it really is just an opinion piece. I can't see how they're "PRO's". Sure they've probably driven a lot of cars and are more qualified to judge the cars than me, but aren't they just fellow enthusiasts driving cars and then writing about them?

Look.. if it soo different league.. GTR as u say..

why they put into Supra and GTT in the contest?? and Supra came LAST??

isn't it suppose to be other way around ... if SUPRA was SOOOO good in GTR league!!!

Anyways... i think SPEED guyz have good opinion.. because they have driven more cars and been though more than us i am sure if it....

And i am sure they not biased....

BTW.. power dont mean EVERYTHING.. is the overall proformance etc etc... Just look at RX-7... was the least power from the DYNO... and WIN....

who buyz car just for 0-100?? or 1/4 miles... If so just buy a drag car... :headspin: lol

Anyways.. this post.. is not clear on what is needed.. Is to general.. just GTT vs Supra.. Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

I don't know why they put them in the same comparison. And yes' date=' it is a little strange to me that the Supra came last. I'm sure Speed aren't biased, but every other review I've ever read says the Supra handles really well and goes damn hard. It's almost always compared to the GTR.

Anyway, lets just say that you'd prefer a GTT and I'd prefer a Supra :rofl:

Anyways.. this post.. is not clear on what is needed.. Is to general.. just GTT vs Supra.. Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

Yeah then it's a clear win for the Supra, but I was assuming they were stock.

?? sign.. read that article again plzz.. both modified in same way...

SUPRA has more power... and Lasttttttt...

GTT less powerful still better than supra.. win..

WHAT is soo hard to understand?? lol...

SURPA Lost... lastttttt...

If u don't think so... give letters bk to SPEED..(love to see u do it, and what comments from the PRO will give u hahaha )...!!!!

Anyways.. i don't want to say more.. u have ur say.. i have mine... :rofl:

Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

either

That Supra coming last in that magazine could have been due to lots of things such as supra not been tuned as much as others for circuit specs or could have been a shit driver not used to the supra's capabilities.

All had the same mods Supra had big power and great speed in a straight line but just couldnt match the others when it came to handling ect

There's nothing hard to understand. I don't know why you're still talking about this speed article. I know more power doesn't automatically mean it's better, and I didn't say that. I think I'll pass on writing a letter to speed just because I disagree with their review too.

I'll just leave this discussion here as this really isn't going anywhere :cheers:

a few years ago my favourite jap sports cars were supras. I saw a black one with no wing, lowered with these huge magz and I was in love. Problems started when I kept seeing supras around that looked crap, HEAPS of them. My love affair cooled to just an appreciation.

The supra is a nice car and I would love to own one. But over a much less common more modern design better driving car?

SIF

*moan GTT*

how much would either of these cars set you back? on road, relativly stock?

well all depends on what year u want. Late model Supra's are expensive eg 97 Rz will set u back like $40-45k, 98 with vvti like $50k? GTT's range from like $28k-$40k also depending on year.

I'd go the GT-T purely on looks. Looks wayyyyyy better than a Supra, also, R34s are rare, compared to Supras.

Performance wise Supra would win.....but that's what mods are for. I'd go the Skyline anyday.

Oh yeah, this Nissan, Toyota stuff......LoL both are Japanese Manufacturers, kinda like comparing Holden and Ford. You can't say for example, "the skyline is better because its a Nissan" or vice versa. Same budget production methods.

when buyin my car

my first choice was a supra as i've always wanted one since i first saw them

however, with the money i spent on the r34, i wouldve only gotten a 93-94 supra which is a bit too old for my liking and i didnt want to spend $$ on problems i could avoid

imo, supras are becoming very common.. however, thats not to say the r34 isnt fast becoming the same

both are great cars.. supra will kill the GTT in terms of straight line and power output whilst the GTT is more of a cruiser/daily driver which still have enough go to have fun

99-2000 rz supras sell for about 1.8 mil jpy in jap auctions , thats for a 6 sp manual with 50 k k's on the clock .

98-2000 gtt's sell for about .1.6 mil jpy for a 5 speed manual with the same k's .

As you can see there is not much diff in the price of the 2 .

Both have 206kw but supra has 451 n/m and gtt has only 333 n/m

Supra has even heaps more torque that the 34 gtr (only 392 n/m )

Supra weighs 1510 kg and gtt only 1410 kg .

I don't know wich is quicker in straight line but i dont think there is much in it , on the other hand the 34 gtr is much quicker than both .

In May 98 the gtt ( release date ) was selling for 2.9 mil jpy and the rz 4.5 jpy ( in august 99 )

The gtt has a better resale value than the rz ( in japan )

By comparison in january 99 Gtr sold for 5 mil jpy and V-spec 5.6 mil .

I dont know which car is better between the 2 , i think is a personal opinion as they are both good cars .

I think i would buy a 33 gtr for about the same money as the supra .

I think they aren't in the same comparison. For me i want thrills from a car. I like nissans a lot, but the supra holds more for me, and is the only toyota that does. One fact is that you can easily get over 650hp @ wheel with bolt on mods.. If anyone has seen a video of the walser supra beating a hyabusa on the highway, it had 2835 twins, cams, 70hp nitrous, and stock bottom end.Try that in a gtst, or even a gtr. Also the gearboxes and diff's are much stronger. I dont know how many cars i've seen run 9's @150mph with a stock box and just a diff center changed.

Handling can be fixed quite easily, but if your comparing stock 2 stock then sure you probably have a point. But with properly setup suspension im sure the supra wouldn't handle that much worse if any than a GT-T, and there is no way that with mild mods a GT-T would stick with it in a straight line.

Thats just my opinion based on my preferences, im sure others have different tastes.

Also i think the 2JZ is the king of sound... very tough sounding engine

agree there! in stock form, the gtt is a much nicer car to drive. but for modifying, the gtt is not in the same league as the supra.

but again, for the money of a RZ, i would save alittle bit more to get a R34GTR :P

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
